Bright Family Affair in California

Amaya D’Amico (32 and an ad agency strategic director) and Gerard Pitpitan’s (33 and in consulting) wedding was a family affair. The couple wed on Amaya’s parents’ 39th wedding anniversary and her grandfather, mother and sister designed the invitations and place cards, which highlighted the roads the couple has driven on together and the songs they listened to along the way. The festivities also included the couple’s furry family members, Rex and Jolene, as a flower girl and a ring bearer.
In addition to a watercolor cake, the couple surprised Amaya’s parents with their own cake for their anniversary.
To play up the venue’s natural, rustic feel, the couple chose to keep the décor simple. “We added some string lights over the dance floor in front of the barn and on the trees to highlight their beauty well into the evening,” Amaya says. Gerard wanted to add a playful touch to his suit, so he added a pocket square with an embroidered dog. The nearby forest inspired the wild arrangements.
